1. 16 October 1974 Mexico 10 Pesos, serie 1DD (P-63g)

📖 History and Significance:
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the parish priest of Dolores, called his parishioners to revolt against Spanish rule on 16 September 1810 with the "Grito de Dolores" — the day Mexico still celebrates as Independence Day. He was captured and executed in 1811, but the movement he started led to independence in 1821. This 10 Pesos design circulated from 1969 until 1977. Banco de México printed these peso notes in its own Mexico City works during the era of the "old peso". After the oil boom of the 1970s, the debt crisis of 1982 and inflation that peaked above 150% in 1987, ever-larger denominations were needed, and on 1 January 1993 Mexico introduced the nuevo peso, worth 1,000 old pesos, ending this classic series.

🎨 Design Details:
The obverse shows a portrait of Miguel Hidalgo at right and the Bell of Dolores, flanked by two figures, at left, with an eagle-head ornament. The reverse shows the parish church of Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, where the call to independence was made.

✅ Condition Guide:
AUNC (About Uncirculated). An About Uncirculated note looks almost new: crisp paper, bright original colours and sharp corners, with at most a single light fold, corner flick or minor handling mark from counting. Because we hold multiple quantities in inventory, the exact serial numbers and specific wear patterns will vary. This condition guide represents our overall quality standard rather than the specific flaws of the photographed note.
